				"Everything's changed. Men 
				fall from the sky, the gods hurl thunderbolts, innocents die. 
				That's how it starts, sir. 
				The fever, the rage, the feeling of 
				powerlessness that turns good men cruel." - 
				Alfred 
				Why watch this? 
				Snyder 
				finally gave us Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman - and they 
				look great on film. 
				Plot Summary: 
				Fearing Superman's power and potential threat to humanity, 
				Batman takes it upon himself to confront the Man of Steel. 
				Meanwhile, Lex Luthor, a wealthy and cunning businessman, 
				orchestrates events to manipulate the two heroes into a fight, 
				thus furthering his own agenda. This confrontation forces the 
				emergence of other powerful beings, including Wonder Woman, who 
				may hold the key to uniting them against a common enemy. Dad's Preview: 
				After the success of 
				Man of Steel 
				(2013), I expected this to be a great film. It does have issues: Luther was miscast 
				and trying to do 
				too much, Doomsday appearing too soon. A lot was corrected with the improved 
				Ultimate Edition, which flows better and I highly recommend. 
				Many elements do work. Affleck's Batman is 
				cool and brutally badass. Cavill is the perfect Superman. Gadot 
				was made to play Wonder Woman. Its darker setting does set it apart 
				from Marvel's lighter-toned efforts. Finally, this actioner clearly sets up 
				Justice League 
				(2021).
